THE MOON DETENTE

The future of civilization hangs on a fragile promise

America’s time has passed—or so the world believes. As allies slip away and enemies sharpen their ambitions, Washington clings to comforting illusions—blind to the storm gathering just beyond the horizon.

One man is not fooled. Jacob P. Slake, founder of the tech empire Q Corp, wagers everything on a secret plan to prevent global collapse. He pays for it with his life, dying aboard a colossal spacecraft as it touches down on the Moon.

In the aftermath, the burden falls to his widow, Jayne—an unlikely leader thrust into a role that could determine humanity’s future. With only a small circle of trusted insiders—a wily general, a principled engineer, and a gregarious lawyer—she must lead a mission designed not to rule the world, but to save it.

The final gamble is unprecedented. The battlefield is no longer Earth.
